As I stare into the mirror, I see objectively—sans ego—a weathered face that has endured seventy-two summers and winters. I see a body that is betraying the ghost that moves this pen. Each day, each hour, each minute, time seems to abrade my exterior with debilitating constancy. The apostle warns us of this betrayal, this…
By truly repenting we are baptized into Jesus Christ, and are forgiven of our sins and cleansed from all unrighteousness! We are given a new lease on life. (Romans 6:3-10) Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism…
Recovering the eye salve that reveals God’s plan to multiply Himself The greatest tragedy of the last days is not the darkness of the world, but the blindness of God’s own people to His astonishing purpose: the multiplication of Himself in His sons and daughters. “Each seed bears its own kind” comes to mind (Gen.…
They built a ruler long enough to stretch across the sky. Then complained that mountains refused to stay the same height. READ MORE.
God is so gracious and since the very beginning has always sent His servants the prophets to teach and warn, even though their message often times falls on deaf ears. Even John the Baptist who was the forerunner of our Lord and Savior said that he was as one crying in the wilderness! (Jeremiah 7:23-26) But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my…
And the I AM answered me in a Thought: “Tell them who I AM.” Throughout Scripture, the title “Rock of Israel” stands as one of the most vivid revelations of God’s character. It is a name that gathers His strength, His faithfulness, and His immovable sovereignty. When the biblical writers speak of God as the Rock, they are not reaching…
“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 (ESV) The “prize” of the Christian life is that “upward call.” It is a call that goes far deeper than teachings and doctrines. It is fueled by an inward press of the Spirit of God…
To grasp the vision of the immortal sons and daughters of God, we must confront the reality of God’s sovereignty. God is totally in control. He rules. He governs every detail of our lives and every event unfolding on earth. He is the Supreme Authority, acting according to His will without seeking our permission. God…
Before we come to repentance and are busy with all this life offers, the born again experience is misunderstood by the world for it is spiritually discerned. The world around us stays the same as we are transformed by the holy spirit (1 Corinthians 2:11-14) For what man knoweth the things of a man, save…
The preacher said— “One day we’ll all be together again…” and the women in the second pew held each other like shipwreck survivors clinging to wet lumber. But I been reading the Book at 3 AM with burnt coffee breath and thunder sitting low in my chest like bad weather, and I can’t find many…
From: A Beyond Tomorrow E-mail The first step of longsuffering is to exercise restraint and do nothing. We must think first! What does God want me to say or do? The Power of Longsuffering in a Short-Tempered World Note: Scripture Links are from me to the Worthy Bible with Strongs site. Longsuffering, though rarely used today, is…
We see the loving kindness of God when Abraham had two sons, one born of Sarah’s maid Hagar who was Ishmael and the other born to Sarah and Abraham named Isaac. The difference here holds great meaning to those of us who are known as being of the seed of Abraham. For the one born…
There are seasons when the battlefield of the mind feels relentless. Thoughts rise like storm winds, swirling through our grey matter with a force that seems beyond our control. Scripture is clear that such mental assaults are not imagined; they are part of the enemy’s strategy. “The devil…walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he…

I almost died in a car wreck the other day. I was on the four lane topping a hill, when I looked for just a half-second at the radio. And as I crested the rise, something had me look up, and there the pickup truck was, moving slowly in front of me. I swerved to…
